Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is firing back at her grandson's teenaged father, Levi Johnston, for comments he made on TV about the circumstances surrounding his son's conception.
On an episode of "The Tyra Banks Show" to air Monday, Johnston, 18, claims that Gov. Palin did not think that he and her daughter Bristol were being abstinent when they were together.
"Bristol did not even know Levi was going on the show," Palin's rep tells People.com. "We're disappointed that Levi and his family, in a quest for fame, attention, and fortune, are engaging in flat-out lies, gross exaggeration, and even distortion of their relationship."

It's stupid and she is making herself look very small.
She is single handedly ruining her own political career with constantly responding to this crap. She's showing she is thin skinned and not a leader ... . She's helping the LEFT paint that picture of herself ... surely she is not that dumb?
Political criticism or a political attack is completely different. This is personal dirty laundry, and the Palins would be smart to let it die.
I know some of you guys don’t think she should have commented but believe it or not AllahPundit is on her side for once -
Those are harsh words for someone who was defending Levi during the election and just a couple months ago when Levi was fired from his oilfield job.
Surely you are not pretending to care?
Not as dumb as a certain Governor from Massachussetts who supported Planned Parenthood, the homosexual agenda and socialist healthcare and thinks he can run as a Conservative. But then again the dumb ones are those buying into this.
Sarah, KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT.
Yes, it is rather amusing that the same people who just last fall were gushing about their wonderful Levi are now lambasting him
I didn’t even know about Levi being on tv until this. Sarah should just keep quiet.
I stand with the comments I made then, because their private life should not be our business. The point of my comments was to be directed against those busybodies picking apart their private life without any proof, based entirely on rumors.
But now that Levi Johnston and Co. are themselves running their gossipy mouths and spreading BS for a handfull $$$, why should I defend him any longer?
The Mittwits will remain following the faux-conservative, and we need to move on to someone who has values, principles, AND is willing to speak their mind.
You would have by monday. You don’t seriously think that the MSM would have let this story die?

Well just maybe her respect for the truth and honor means just a bit more than any possible political aspirations. The one reason she originally caught fire with the general public was her no nonsense approach to the world. I have far more respect for someone who calls a spade a spade than someone who is poitically or socially afraid to confront an issue.
In my book, a “no comment” response means either the claims are true or you are too much of a coward to dispute it.
Damn the torpedoes; Full speed ahead.
Do the names Billy Carter and Roger Clinton ring a bell. How come it's only Republicans with questionable family members that get saddled with that baggage?
Unfortunately, this will all just be material for SNL and the other leftist comedians.
I hope he doesn’t think his monetary rewards are going to just him...he has a son to support now. Welcome to reality, daddy child.
No they are just serial Sarah Palin haters. It's sad really.
He sowed his wild oats, and like most scum now he will do ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING to make money.
Soon nobody will remember anything about him,let alone his name, unless he’s refer to as the scum that was involve with Bristol and tried to cash in at her expense.
